4. FIRST COME FIRST SERVED

Co-op codes: LP-La Grange Park, WS-Western Springs,

All programs have a minimum and maximum enrollment and will be fille on a first come, first served basi

5. PROGRAM WAITING LISTS

Maximum enrollments for programs ensure quality and safety for you and your children. In the past, we made every effort to accommodate as man residents as possible without negatively impacting the programs. This has led to disappointment and frustration for all involved due to problems in timing (those on the waiting lists would find another way to spend thei time), and the difficulty related to finding qualified instructors in a s period of time.

For this program season, waiting lists will be unlimited. This list will be taken to allow for dropouts and cancellations prior to the start of a program.

Our deadline for requesting refunds is 5 days before the start of class. This change helps eliminate last minute decisions regarding program and waiting list status.

6. FALSE INFORMATION/RESIDENT PRIORITY

Persons failing to indicate Non-Resident status, or registering Non-Residents as Park District Residents will be dropped from the program without refund.

7. REFUNDS AND CANCELLATION

Refunds will not be issued after the first class date and must be requeste no less than 5 days before the first class meeting. A prorated refund will b issued in cases when the Park District receives a written certificate from physician that a medical condition exists that prohibits participation. The medical note must be received no later than 14 days after the session end date. A prorated refund may also be issued if the registrant moves outside of the District boundaries. A $5 service charge will be deducted from all refunds over $5, except when a medical certificate is presented in writing or the District cancels a program. If the Park District cancels a program, participants will have a choice of full refund, credit or class transfer, if available.

8. INSUFFICIENT FUNDS FEE:

In the event that a program is paid for by check, and that check is returned to the District stamped N.S.F., full payment as well as a $20.00 penalty will be required in cash or cashiers check before attendance in a class can continue.

WHY ARE THERE INITIALS NEXT TO THE PROGRAMS? (LG-Laura Gallagher, DF-Diana Faught, KM-Kevin Miller, TS-Teresa Skrzynski)

They represent the staff ember responsible for that program. This will help you connect with the right person to answer your questions.

4

All communities that border La Grange which include Western Springs, La Grange Park, Brookfield, La Grange Highlands, and McCook will be charge only 10% more than resident rate for all programs. Proof of residency is required.

Program Philosophy

Learning Ladders is a recreation program that has been designed to meet the physical, social, intellectual, and creative needs of children ages 2 1/2 to 5. It is based on the premise that children learn through play. Play serves as a “child’s work”, a time when new discoveries and friendships are made. Through play, children learn to communicate with words, express feelings, explore, create, problem solve, make decisions, and much, much more.

In addition to creative free play there will be a balance of teacher directed group activities as well. Introduction and exposure to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and other beginning concepts occurs. Our teaching staff reates and implements lesson plans based on Illinois Early Learning Standards.

Little Actors Club (DF)

Children love this innovative drama class that helps to develop their imagination and introduce them to the performing arts in a fun and creative atmosphere. Each week is a new and exciting adventure into the imagination with changing themes, music, costumes, props, and playbills. They even learn a new joke every week.

SEASPAR Celebrates 40th Anniversary

As the South East Association for Special Parks And Recreation begins its celebration of 40 years of service, it salutes the Park District of La Grange for recognizing the need to serve people with disabilities and joining SEASPAR in 1985, and for its ongoing commitment to recreation for all.

Through the support and cooperation of the Park District of La Grange, SEASPAR continues to enable those it touches to discover abilities, achieve potential, and realize dreams. What started with a desk and telephone has become an organization that serves 2,000 people each year in twelve communities.

The Park District of La Grange’s strong desire to serve people with disabilities was demonstrated 30 years ago, and that commitment is very apparent today.

Winter/Spring SEASPAR Program Highlights Sports • Trips • Social Programs • Special Events • And More!

The winter day camp takes place on weekdays, except holidays, December 21–January 5. Activities include arts and crafts, sports, and local day trips.

FINANCIAL REPORT At the Park District of La Grange, we want you to understand how important you are to our mission. Our mission is to provide quality recreation programs, facilities, and parks that enhance the health, happiness and quality of life of Park District residents and program participants. We appreciate your support and invite you to visit your local parks and facilities.

Park District Revenue

The Park District has several different revenue sources from taxes and fees to grants and bonds.

The majority of the Park District’s working revenue comes from property taxes and recreation user fees which includes both program activity fees and rental fees for the use of the Park District facilities. One of our management goals was to reduce property tax revenue as a percentage of total revenue to 65% or less. The expansion of our programs has helped us to achieve this goal.

Often, residents are not aware that the Park District is a separate taxing body from the Village of La Grange. The Park District is governed by a five member Board of Commissioners that is elected by the residents. As a separate governmental entity, the Park District has the ability to levy and collect taxes on all taxable property within the District. Based on a typical 2014 tax bill approximately 5 cents of every tax dollar comes to the Park District of La Grange.

The Cook County Assessor’s Office calculates the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) on business and personal properties annually to help determine the amount of property taxes to be paid per business or household. Based on the results of these assessed values, the Park District uses its current tax rate to draw revenue from each property’s EAV to support and provide its public service. In 2014, the tax rate for the Park District of La Grange was .471.

Total Expenditures................................$4,829,828 100% The Park District prepares an annual budget to manage its fiscal year of revenue and expenses. The staff orks diligently to assure that the budget is balanced. The Park Board approves the budget each year by adopting an annual Budget & Appropriation Ordinance. Prior to adoption, the ordinance is posted for public inspection, and a public hearing is held to allow for comments and questions by residents. Our annual budget, along with other Park District information can be found on our website at www.pdlg.org.

Excellence in Reporting

At the conclusion of each fiscal year, the Park District prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) that clearly communicates the financial condition of the Park District and provides details on activities and balances for the fiscal year.

In addition, the Park District’s finances are audited by a professional, independent auditor. A formal auditor’s report is provided to the Park District on internal control and compliance, as well as the findings of the audit.

The Government Finance Officers Association has awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the Park District of La Grange for 20 consecutive years. To achieve this award, the District’s CAFR must clearly communicate its financial story to the reader and satisfy all the applicable legal requirements and generally accepted accounting principles.

Operating Budget

The Park District of La Grange continues to operate with a surplus in its operating budget. The operating budget includes all revenues and expenses except those from bonds or for capital projects.

Investing in Capital Projects

Each year, the District prepares a capital budget for repairs and/or replacement of equipment or amenities. The capital projects are financed with a combination of non-referendum bond money, grants and surplus from the operations budget.

This year’s major project was the replacement of the playground at Sedgwick Park. Other park improvements included a playground repair at Gilbert Park, fencing at Gordon Park and a memorial at Gordon Park. In addition, all the security cameras in and around the Recreation Center were replaced with a new and advanced model.

GENERAL INFORMATION LATE PICK-UP POLICY The Park District of La Grange staff ill supervise children who are left beyond the scheduled time until a parent or other authorized adult on the pick-up list arrives. However, late pickups will result in a fee. Payment of the late fee is to be paid at the Recreation Center located at 536 East Avenue BEFORE your child can attend the next day of camp/class. If you have any questions, please call Laura Gallagher at 352-1762.

1-15 minutes late = $5.00 Every minute after that = $1.00

Important Information

The Park District of La Grange is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible and holds the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities.

The Park District of La Grange continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participant’s safety.

Please recognize that the Park District of La Grange does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs.

The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive; therefore, each person registering themselves or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review their own medical insurance policy for coverage. It must also be noted that the absence of medical insurance coverage does not make the Park District of La Grange automatically responsible for the payment of medical expenses.

5. No smoking within any Park District buildings.

6. No golfing in the parks. Youth Golf Program participants are exempt from this rule during scheduled golf lessons.

7. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset unless otherwise posted.

Exceptions apply to lighted areas (i.e. courts, fields, etc.)

Program Code of Conduct

To ensure enjoyable and safe programs for all participants, the Park District of La Grange has developed a behavior code. Participants shall: • Show respect to all participants and staff.

• Refrain from using foul language.

• Refrain from causing bodily harm.

• Show respect to equipment, supplies, and facilities.

Additional rules are developed for specific programs as deemed necessary by staff.

Program Financial Assistance

The Financial Assistance Policy of the Park District of La Grange is established to provide a fair and equitable system through which District residents may take part in recreation programs when they are unable to pay the required fees.

Partial program fee waivers may be granted for Park District of La Grange residents for certain programs. Any family who would like to see if they are eligible for a scholarship may obtain an application from the Park District of La Grange Administration Office at 536 East Avenue, La Grange, IL 60525.

CO-OP Programming

If the graphic symbol appears next to a program title, it is a CO-OP, and resident rates apply for all agencies indicated. All participating agencies must achieve minimum enrollment for a class to be held.

The Park District of La Grange requires that all program participants or legal guardians sign a Liability Waiver and Release form at the time of registration. This form must be signed prior to participation in any Park District program. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated.

There are three reasons why park districts and recreation departments typically offer programs in cooperation with another agency. Reason #1 is because individually each agency does not have the population base to support a program. Reason #2 is that one of the agencies does not have the facility to offer a program. Reason #3 is that both agencies can increase the variety of programs offered to their residents.

Park Usage Rules

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

For your Safety and Protection....CERTAIN LOCAL RULES ARE ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS SO THAT ALL MAY ENJOY THE PARKS SAFELY. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING RULES. 1. No dogs are allowed in the parks.
